Chapter 506: In-depth Communication
Song Hailiang inadvertently revealed this news, but the grandmaster was taken aback. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although I heard Fang Zhengying say at lunch today, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother are very likely to secretly participate in the Vladivostok-Cape Town Car Rally, and then contact what Song Hailiang inadvertently revealed just now, His Majesty has already made up his mind to participate in this rally several months ago.
If you want to calculate it this way, it is clearly influenced by the generous statement made by himself in the palace that day.
Thinking that he was able to fool His Majesty the Emperor, the Grandmaster wanted to laugh out loud for no reason.
If you can fool His Majesty into the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally at the end of next month, it will be a particularly interesting scene.
However, since His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress want to have a good time, then you have to serve these two well.
The Grandmaster knew very well that His Majesty Emperor Hua was an avid car fan, otherwise he would not have a collection of more than fifty of the world's top cars in his garage. Moreover, when His Majesty was the crown prince, he participated in the official F3 competition, so His Majesty the Emperor knows a lot about cars.
If you want to serve this well, you must come up with a car that can make His Majesty's heart move.
Obviously, the tough guy he modified is definitely a car that can impress His Majesty the Emperor.
Although it has not yet been fully tested, the Grandmaster is sure. Grandmaster-level car modification is not a joke, and the grandmaster is sure that if he says that his modification skills are not good in this world, I am afraid that no one will dare to say that he is a modification master.
For this modified tough guy, the grandmaster is still completely sure. The car itself was deliberately built by the Real Madrid Group to please His Majesty the Emperor, so its performance in all respects is extremely good. If it weren't for the fact that the original car was really not suitable for racing with the professional off-road vehicles of the professional team, the grandmaster would not need to modify it, and he could directly drive the original tough guy to participate in the whole Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally.
Even the original tough guy has the ability to complete the entire schedule. That's how good this car is.
Seeing that the grandmaster's face changed a little, Song Hailiang hurriedly asked, "Master, can you give me a word?" ”
The grandmaster was happy and said with a smile: "Let's go, go with me to test the car." It's true that this car hasn't been fully tested yet, but you can get a feel for the car's basic performance first. ”
Turning around and talking to Fang Zhengying, the grandmaster took Song Hailiang into the car.
As soon as he sat in the cab, Song Hailiang was startled by the bulge in the back seat.
The grandmaster explained with a smile: "I changed the fuel supply system, and the original two fuel tanks were still a little smaller for this kind of rally, so I simply removed the back seat and added two 150-liter fuel tanks to the back seat, which is enough for the tough guy to run a 2,100-kilometer journey with a full tank of fuel." ”
Song Hailiang was stunned, and then gestured at the grandmaster with admiration on his face.
"Let's run at high speed first to see how stable the car is, after all, I have increased the suspension, and the center of gravity of the whole car has been raised a lot." The grandmaster said, turning on the fire, stepping on the accelerator in gear, and with a light flick of the steering wheel, the car was on the test track.
The car ran three or four laps around the track and reached a top speed of 220 km/h, although the car was not at more than that, but the Grandmaster did not continue to speed up.
Song Hailiang sat in the co-pilot's seat, carefully feeling the condition of the vehicle when accelerating in a straight line, braking, and cornering at high speed, and finally said to the grandmaster with a smile: "Your modification is very good, the performance of this car is beyond my imagination." At least at high speeds, I felt very stable with the car. ”
The grandmaster smiled: "Actually, I haven't changed the power system much, but I have made a little bit of fine-tuning to the turbocharging system. After all, I'm going to participate in a rally, not a racetrack, so the top speed requirements for the car are not very strict, and I pay more attention to the car's acceleration ability at medium and low speeds. ”
The Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally is one of the most dangerous and arduous car races in the world, and the average speed of the entire race is only about 100 km/h.
This is not to say that the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally does not have a high-speed requirement for cars, but that compared to Formula 1, Le Mans and other track races, most of these tracks are rally in the wilderness, because of the restrictions of the track, you just want to run fast.
Just imagine, you run to 120 in the wild, what would that concept be? Maybe a fist-sized rock will make you roll over at this speed!
For nearly 20 years, more than 10,000 cars have participated in the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally every year, a number far more than the Paris-Dakar Rally in previous generations. But even these more than 10,000 cars, the final completion of the race is definitely not more than 15%.
Compared to the Paris-Dakar Rally in the past, which had a completion rate of about 38 per cent, the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally in this life was more than twice as low.
Among them, the reason why most of the contestants did not finish the race was because they drove too fast when they were running cars in the wilderness, and eventually overturned for one reason or another......
This kind of rally, although in the end it is still about speed, the absolute speed of the car is not the most important thing in this event.
Song Hailiang was obviously very familiar with this rally, and when he heard this, he nodded again and said: "Your idea is very good, to increase the acceleration ability of medium and low speeds, this is definitely a very good practice, if it were replaced by me, I would also do the same." ”
After a pause, Song Hailiang continued: "Although the tough guy is a hard off-road and uses a V86.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine, this car was originally designed for medium and high-speed driving. The car's ability to accelerate at low and medium speeds isn't very good, and with the size and weight of a tough guy, to be honest, without such a makeover, this car really doesn't have any advantage over those professional cars. Moreover, the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally has many deserts, Gobi Deserts, rocky beaches, savannahs, rushing rivers and even snow-capped mountains and tropical rainforests, so this rally is not a test of the vehicle's extreme speed, but a comprehensive ability. I'm still quite satisfied with the comprehensive ability of the tough guy himself, so your targeted transformation is really great! ”
It is also a very good thing for the grandmaster to have an in-depth conversation with the tough guy designer, after all, Song Hailiang has a deeper understanding of this car.
